Wiki Biliary cath exchange new exit site

[RHardy]

For a biliary catheter exchange with a new exit site, I coded 47525. Another coder suggests 47511, but with no new entrance, I think 47525 may be correct???

You are correct. 47525 is a biliary cath exchange, 47511 is a brand new drainage catheter.
